Samsung Electronics has faced significant setbacks in the semiconductor market, particularly with high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips crucial for AI applications, leading to a substantial decline in market value and profit. Competitors like SK Hynix and Micron Technology have outpaced Samsung by investing early in HBM technology, securing partnerships with industry leaders like Nvidia. Despite recent efforts to boost HBM production and strategic collaborations, Samsung still lags behind, but remains optimistic about future growth in the AI-driven semiconductor industry.
